Could you point me to pictures of musicians in the 1970s with mustaches? Lots of pictures, please.

I think Zappa had the definitive 70's rockstache.

Jerry Garcia had a beard, too. Not sure if that disqualifies him.

I Think every musical in the 70's had a mustache at one point or an other.

Billy Gibbons. ZZ Top was started in 1969, and they haven't shaved since.

Well, Ron Mael of Sparks comes to mind. This pic is iconic, of something.

Also, lots of seventie examples here:
Great Moustaches of Rock
Top 10 Moustached Musicians

(check the comments for tons of "how could have missed Iconic Stacher X". And from that last link, this must be the definitive Mercury Mustache picture (though really, the Mercury Mustache Years were more the eighties, no?)
